Welcome to my head

the day that gabby was born, i went in that morning to find out if i was ready to give birth.  contractions were getting really nasty, and so they hooked me up to the monitor, and checked my cervix...5cm, so yes, i was ready.

you remember the unavoidable groan that comes with each contraction?  you sit there and cannot help to moan "uuhhhhooohhhhhh"  i was sitting in my curtain, doing this every 2 minutes...

in the curtain next to me, i could hear another pregnant mother speaking with the doctor.

"i think i am going into labor!" she said

"No," said the doctor. "You are simply having braxton-hicks contractions." He went on to explain to her and her husband about them

"So how will I know that's it's labor and not these braxton-hicks things?" She asked...now mind you...I am in the next curtain over...groaning and moaning while i wait for my room.  I can hear this total conversation...

"Well," said the doctor, "you hear the young lady next door?"

"Yes." They both answered.

"That's how you'll know it's labor," he said.
